Our Tale Through The Tarot

By Ayushi Ghosh

Holding my hand over the fire

I am letting it burn me alive

For you..

Bundling up my knowledge to embark on a fool's journey..

I have been the High priestess for long enough

Let me be the devil for now..

Casting my veil of temperance aside.

I am willing to shine as a new born star.

While the lovers look at each other

Draining themselves into a cup.

The hierophant gets up from his throne

And looks calmly ahead, into the horizon unknown

The multiple swords behind my back..

Have been reduced to one

The one you are gallantly holding right now

As a symbol of my clarity

The divine masculine to my feminine.

The yin to my yang.

Justice smiles.

I have pleaded guilty

And served my time,

Abiding by the law of judgement.

A hanging man slowly transforming

In the dungeons of the Magician.

Only to find my Emperor in your dark oceanic eyes

The passionate wands hidden beneath your gaze.

Doesn't just burn

It creates too.

We have witnessed many a towers crumbling into dust

And death visiting us when we are forlorn.

The sun illuminating our filth as well as our beauty

Focussing on our pentacles

While the moon warns us to look within.

And the answer is always there.

So let's bow down to it

And to each other..

While fire gleams

Earth blooms

Winds whistle

And water gurgles.

A perfect symphony to our eternity.

The wheels of fortune have turned.

And the penance of the hermit has been rewarded

It's our time now.

The world awaits to bask under our Strength, my love.
